The Syndicate

You freaked out about me placing my vote on you and accused me of overreacting even though there was still a long time until poll close. Then you waited until Quin placed a vote on me so you could do the same yourself. Seems predatory to me.

Show me where I freaked out.

I think I'm getting a worse feeling from DF than from trev in this exchange. He seems opportunistic and heavy handed in a way that doesn't feel normal for him. Idk, maybe he's onto something and I'm picking the wrong side, but I'm putting a vote on DF for now because he just doesn't feel right.

What would feel normal for him, and what experience are you basing this on?

As I said earlier, he's usually a much lower poster, though I suppose he does occasionally get invested in discussion (I don't specifically remember any alignment-based meta differences tbh). Something about his engagement in this feels insincere and/or overblown.

Yes he is. So...

He's participating more here. Let's lynch him! That'll teach him to participate more!

"Something about" is not a tangible reason to suspect someone, and it's nothing he or she can defend against. You might as well lynch him because the man in the hatch told you to.

Eh. Voting Dom.

Foolish Epi, there's no man in the Hatch anymore. They blew that up last season.

Speedchuck's vote for Dom strikes me as lazy. Maybe we should lynch him as yesterday's leftovers. At least then we'll know if there's a chance anyone was trying to save him.

I just actually read the thread. Need to reassess. Not gonna end up on Dom. Hard to review on mobile

Yeah, I feel much better about df compared to notsawyer.

If you wanna lynch me based on my lazy, gman, that is fine. Just don't expect scum. And please don't force another tie.

I think one of either DF and sawyer are bad. Just a feeling.

Quin wrote:I think one of either DF and sawyer are bad. Just a feeling.

Probably.

I absolutely do not want another tie with the random List of Death, my baybee might be left alone if something happens to me, and I don't want him raised by another

I am going to vote Sawyer, I thought he overreacted with that no u reaction, and Faraday is blendy regardless of affiliation.

I had plans tonight, but I cancelled them this damn cold won't go away. SO for the 4th day in a row, I am gonna grab the nyqil and the remote. Hasta, Honeys.

I bring up DF because I can't shake the feeling that he's buddying my sawyer case.

Fun ties are fun. Anybody agree that it might be worth lynching speedchuck to find out about saves yesterday or would lynching DFaraday serve that end as well?

You all, everybody...

Is there an option C?

For me, anyone out of notsawyer, speedchuck, DFaraday, Sorsha, nutella or Spacedaisy will do.

Quin wrote:I think one of either DF and sawyer are bad. Just a feeling.

Well it's not me this time.

I think my lazy, inattentive skim reading paid off though. I think I tripped up DF when I came out shooting and cast my vote for him.

Then today he votes for me hours before the vote is set to close, saying something about how he was waiting for me to come try to defend myself, when in reality he probably just logged on and saw you had voted for me. Plus it's not like he was casting his vote because he was going to be gone and wouldn't be able to vote later. He came in immediately after I got caught up and posted, and replied to my posts.

Seems to me like a decent case against faraday.

Can you say the same for whatever reason people are voting for me? There is none. Faraday is guilty as shit. If I'm wrong, then lynch me tomorrow.

I'm not bad, I'm just careless.

I wouldn't be voting for you if I didn't think my case was decent

And I hate the 'if I'm wrong, lynch me tomorrow' defense. If you're civ, you don't want to get lynched period. Unless you're me, in which case you shouldn't be surprised when I recommend my own lynch.

But I don't hate what you have to say about DF.

It's pretty easy to lynch me when I joke about lynching INH one day and he turns up that night. I prefer to kill people who have nothing to do with me.

turns up dead*

Trev, is quin bad?
If so-- why is quin less bad than DFaraday?

For a linguist, nutella didn't choose her words carefully

Who's on your team with you?

Fancy an alternate target, Dom?

Dom wrote:Trev, is quin bad?

I see one of them as bad, but not both. I think DF is worse because of the reasons I already stated. He comes across as predatory and looks like he's buddying to Quin. Quin seems to be making a genuine effort even though his vote for me perplexes me.

I'm voting nutella. I think she's reproducing her clueless behavior and I disapprove of her DF vote because of "something."

And you all everybody can have that tie bullshit.

Fine idea! I still don't like her potentially two-way post from earlier.

G-Man wrote:Fancy an alternate target, Dom?

What do you think of nutella, G?

question answered

Self-preservation vote.

Fun ties. I mean times. Yeah, that's it.

Until nutella comes back.

F5....F5....F5....

Ok G-man. I'm so very sorry that I haven't been here more. but this game started just as I was going into my two days where I had to work third shifts. If I worked third shifts everyday it would be no problem, but when you only work third shift once or twice a week, you have to adjust your whole schedule just to compensate. So yeah, I haven't posted much because what little time I have been awake and coherent, I've dedicated to other things first because frankly, Day 1 is pretty much a crap shoot anyway. You are lucky you got three posts and a vote out of me. And also, I claimed my role in my very first post yet you kept complaining about me not claiming. Whatever man. I have to ignore most of what you say, your posts look shady as all get out to me and I have to keep reminding myself that you are confirmed civ with an unknown shelf life. I'm guessing you are acting crazy because you can being confirmed and all. Overall, I've found your stuff to be mostly distracting.

Nutella? This two way case on nutella looks bogus as shit to me. Not voting there.

DF/notsawyer: Ok, problematic here. People were commenting on DF early on about how he is not as low poster as normal. I don't think this is alignment indicative. I mean, he's low poster no matter what. I think it's more indicative of the fact that he enjoys the theme in my experience. He put some kind of case out on notsawyer, and I didn't really think much about it. But then notsawyer came in and seemed like a total overreaction. It read that way to me because he was ranting about DF not addressing him, but he clearly addressed him in the very post he was ranting about. Then when DF responded he accused DF of overreacting, which I also don't see at all. So my first instinct was that I would likely vote for notsawyer, but then notsawyer's following posts read very sincere to me. At the moment I'm leaning the opposite way now. But then Quin, presenting a case on someone and then voting the other way looks like distancing that went awry. It makes me nervous about Quin... and notsawyer.

speedchuck, where did the vote for Dom come from and why?

I recall as I was reading along the last few days that there were some weird vibes going on where it seemed like a couple or few people were backing each other up in what seemed like a very solid way for no apparent reason. I'm going to try and read back over it tonight since I finally have some down time.

For now, I'm voting notsawyer I think.

Dom wrote:For a linguist, nutella didn't choose her words carefully

First of all, I don't know what you mean by this or why you think this. Second of all, if you think this, do you think that means I'm bad? Or do you think I would be more careful about words if I was bad?

Guys, I'm sick, but here. Hard to catch up on this device. What do I do?

Epignosis wrote:I'm voting nutella. I think she's reproducing her clueless behavior and I disapprove of her DF vote because of "something."

I have described to the best of my ability why I suspect DF. He is not playing the way he usually does, and he comes across as more aggressive in a way that does not feel genuine to me. I don't know what you mean about "reproducing clueless behavior."

I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say I made a case but voted the other way, Daisy.

I welcome that he is not playing the way he usually does. That's boring.
I welcome that he comes across as more aggressive. He should do that more often.
You were clueless the last time we were together. You reminded me of how clueless you could be. Why go to the trouble? It doesn't make you good this time.

I-- what? None of what you just said makes any sense. I was clueless in Currents and you mislynched me. Why are you pursuing the same course that led you to that result just a few days ago? I'm utterly baffled.

I almost feel like unvoting and causing a tie would be better than these two options, because they seem easy to mislynch. Why am I wrong?

Fool of a Took! Wait. Wrong gig.

If you switch off, Nutella just votes for notsawyer anyway to break the tie. Leave it as is mate.

Ok, forgive me, thirsd shift sleep deprived brain misunderstood one of your posts. I thought you changed your vote. But you were only considering DF, for the fact he agreed with your case... argh. I'm sorry Quin, disregard my revious suspicion of you, I think now that it was tin foiling.

Listen carefully, vote Dom then DF. I needed the vote so I couldn't say anything. Trust me.

notsawyer, out!
